2023 AXPONA Show Report

@ronboco 

The room I saw them in were the Atria IIs showing with Vinnie Rossi Brama electronics. I understand they were in another room but I didn’t get to that one.

Rockports are one of my favorites - so it was pretty disappointing. The room was small and the setup essentially nearfield.  It just didn’t work - for me at least. Perhaps it was also the music selection.

Best,

They had they Atria ii when I went last year too. They sounded pretty good in the small room. Would love to hear the Lyra even though I could never afford them. Thanks for the feedback ! 

@ronboco 

Agreed - would also like to hear the Lyra - and the new Orion.  I’m sure they’re spectacular.  But, too big and too expensive for my smallish room.

My room is smaller too. I have the Avior ii and they work out really nice in it. 

I'm surprised at some comments about these Fritz speakers. I had these exact speakers in my home for about 7 months. They sounded amazing with Adcom 535L, Atoll IN200SE, MiniGan5 (class D), Quicksilver Mono 60 tube amp. They were played in larger and smaller rooms, along the long wall then the short, with subs or without. In every situation and space, if they were positioned correctly, they were warm, inviting, and clear. I can't imagine them sound bad with the amps from Atma-sphere, which I recently heard sound amazing with some Tektons.

Gotta think the room and/or viewer's standpoints had a lot to do with impressions I'm hearing here.
